I had to add a few of my own, many of which make me laugh out loud, 
so much so that I've stopped reading the books on the train now as I 
inevitably just end up embarrassing myself !

GoF: Weasley's Wizard Wheezes
'I *shudder* to think what the state of my in-tray would be if I was 
away from work for five days'.
'Yeah, someone might slip dragon dung in it again, eh, Perce?' said 
Fred.
'That was a sample of fertiliser from Norway!' said Percy, going very 
red in the face. 'It was nothing *personal*!' 
'It was,' Fred whispered to Harrry, as they got up from the 
table. 'We sent it.'

GoF: The Unexpected Task
"A week ago, Harry would have said finding a partner for a dance 
would be a cinch compared to taking on a Hungarian Horntail. But now 
that he had done the later, and was facing the prospect of asking a 
girl to the ball, he thought he'd rather have another round with the 
Horntail."

GoF: The Unexpected Task"
And he went back over to Ron feeling that this ball was a lot more 
trouble than it was worth, and hoping very much that Padma Patil's 
nose was dead centre."

CoS: Guideroy Lockhart
"Unable to see what he was doing, Ron accidentally squashed his 
beetle with his elbow and had to ask for a new one. Professor 
McGonagall wasn't pleased"


CoS: The Deathday Party
"Warlock D.J. PRod of Didsburys says:
'My wife used to sneer at my feeble charms but one month into your 
fabulous Kwikspell course I succeeded in turning her into a yak! 
Thank you, Kwikspell!'
Presumably he never bothered to turn her back again??

And finally one from which the source escapes me, concerning Neville 
in Transfiguration class, who'd inadvertantly transplanted his ears 
onto a cactus, much to the annoyance of Professor McGonagall. Can't 
find the quote but it makes me laugh every time.
